††††††††† When I was asked to write this letter, I couldnít decide if
I was writing a new treatment protocol or a new way of living with AIDS. Let me
tell my story and you decide.

††††††††† First let me get my history out in brief. Being single in
Seattle in the late seventies was a deadly thing as it turns out. Sixteen years
ago I had my HIV test and of course it came back +. That was no surprise to me,
or my lover, we moved back to Erie PA 15 years ago already +.

††††††††† Over the last sixteen years we received treatment everywhere
from the Cleveland Clinic to Seattle menís center, to San Francisco CA. In
search of any treatment that held hope. I would have gone anywhere, I thought
there would be hope. Lee, that was my loversí name. He was always coming down
with something and always took longer to get over it. Leeís search ran out
three years ago in San Francisco he passed,

††††††††† After several attempts at suicide and one close call with
death I found a reason to live. Actually a calling to live. Thatís when I found
the Colloidal Silver, quite by accident, although nothing in this world is a
total accident. But I started taking the silver supplement and right off I felt
better and my skin looked fabulous. Ok let me back up one minute. In the
beginning my t-4 count was 575, so you all know what that means, my doctor then
estimated that I was probably + for 5 years or so that put the POZing date
around the same time I met Lee, in Seattle. Finding out was not a big deal for
us we were very ready for that. We had been together for 5 years then and were
ready for the fight of our lives and together we could deal with anything.

††††††††† I avoided all drugs to treat HIV. I tried AZT at first with
Lee and puked my guts out all night, the very first night. So I was determined
I wasnít going to live life like that. We always felt that quality of life was
more important than quantity of life. Finally four years ago after a battle
with numo. I started taking a cocktail of Norvier, Eppiver, Zerit, Fortovase
and Septra. My viral load was now 500,000 and t-4 were 125 and t-8 were 100. I
had the usual bettering of my blood draws but it did not last for long a few
years, then things started getting worse again.

††††††††† After four years of this regiment I was failing to a point
that my doctor suggested I change my cocktail. My viral load was up to 750,000,
my t-4ís were down to 25 and my t-8ís were at 0. Worse was my energy was
totally gone. I couldnít go from my bedroom to momís table for food I was so
weak, I had to take a break half way to the kitchen, some days mom would bring
food to me.

††††††††† Back to the Sliver treatment. A good friend told me about
this Silver she was giving to her horses with great results during the winter
hear horses get a infection, very common, but her horses didnít get it since
she had been giving them the Silver. She also gave it to her kids when they
would come down with a sore throat, and it seemed to work better than anything
else she ever gave them. Well I was so sick that I decided to look very close
at this. There is not much around about it, in fact I found nothing at first. I
was so sick I think I would have taken anything at that time. I did know going
into it there were some risks involved, such as ageria, thatís a condition when
the silver goes all the way to the skin level from the blood, this is a slight
graying of the skin. My doctor said it was not a life threaten thing but if it
happens it will be permanent.

††††††††† After two or three weeks I knew there was something truly
miraculous here. My teeth were getting whiter and felt smother, the bacteria,
pack was gone. My skin was the first thing along with my energy that mom
noticed changing. My acne that I suffered with since a child, was going away.
That is when mom and I had a talk about the risks of staying on the Silver full
time. You are only recommended to stay on it for 2 weeks at a time, according
to the pakg. Label. After three months I felt like a new person. My blood draw
showed, my t-4ís were up to 400 and my t-8ís were up to 1,200, and my viral
load was down to 0, yeah I know this canít happen. Even my doctor did not
believe the results and ran another blood draw at another lab, with the ultra
sensitive viral load done this time. Well it confirmed the findings and the
viral load was less than 50, you know the ultra sensitive test does not come
back 0 only less than 50, at best. But to mom the best thing was that my energy
was almost normal, what ever that is. † Now
I knew in my heart I had stumbled upon something miraculous here. I decided to
do everything in my power to make the best of it. I felt like I was given a
second chance again. When you are given a second chance you donít blow it so I
started exercising.††††

††††††††† This is where my mental attitude changed for the better. My
energy was so good that I started jogging, well walking at first then moved to
jogging right away. First one blocks then two then three and now I run 3 miles
each day. I also started college, so I could learn Web Design so I could get
this and other information out to folks suffering with this terrible thing. I
am also for the second time very involved with community. The past 5 years or
so Lee consumed all my time and had no time for other things. So we were users
of services and had no time to contribute to them.

††††††††† Now entering my new phase in life. I council AIDS folks on
a regular basis, trying to help others live a more full, meaningful life. And
my body has responded to all the positive mental and physical stuff. Now I am
no saint, not by a long shot. I have my bad days when I just have to cut loose
and party, but I keep it to a minimum, and most important carry no guilt over
my bad boy ways,Ē Stress KillsĒ.

††††††††† My most resent blood draw in October 1999 shows more good
results. My t-4ís have come up again to 600 and my viral load was still at 0, I
was so excited by this, since my very first t-4 was 575 back in 1985. I forgot
to find the t-8 results. You may contact me later to find out that.

††††††††† Last month I went to run the NYC Marathon and meet with
AMFAR in NYC. Well I didnít complete the Marathon I ran 10 miles and that was
still great. And more bad news AMFAR is very gun shy of any new treatments
until there is some basic research; some guys that were hyping things for
monetary reasons burned them. They have referred me to two other sources that
may be able to help. I donít want much I just want this looked at by the Fed.
Gov. but that is another story and I am not done with AMFAR yet.

††††††††† Well there is more to my story, I had a new blood draw just
this month, April 2000. And my viral load is still undetectable but best of all
is my T8ís are now 1,865. My T4ís havenít changed any more. I am sure this is
due to the Colloidal Silver I have been on for the last 15 months.

††††††††† If I have learned anything in these long years of living
and dying with AIDS itís this. Get involved with your own health, and others as
well. I have tried lots of things some have helped and some have not, but none
hurt me. I truly believe that a healthy mind and body can deal with this better
than anything I have found in my 16 years of dealing with HIV. There is
something to helping others that helps you, there is a lot of medical research
being done right now that points to the mind being more help with AIDS than
previously thought.

††††††††† PS. I have no interests in any Colloidal Silver co. I am an
ex-hairdresser now studying computer programming. Please feel free to contact
me at my e-mail add. And I will respond as soon as possible.

Today March 6th† †2000, I went to see my doctor and had the best results I have ever
had about my blood. The latest blood draw came back and my T-8ís were 1,865.
Yes I said 1,865, the best they have ever been. 600 in 1985 was the
first blood draw I had done, and have gone down to 100 just last year. I
attribute this totally to the Colloidal Silver I have been taking for the last
1year and 3 months. I take 1 teaspoon two times a day. My T-4 were 600 and my
viral load was undetectable.
